Allen Crowe

In Memory of Allen Crowe

November 12, 1928 - June 2, 1963

Born in York, Illinois, Crowe died in New Bremen, Ohio

from injuries sustained in a Sprint Car Race at New Bremen Speedway.

He drove in the USAC Championship Car Series,

racing in the 1961 - 1963 seasons with 15 starts,

including the 1962 and 1963 Indianapolis 500 Races. He finished in the top ten 6 times,

with his best finish in 5th position in 1962 at Syracuse.

Allen cut his eye teeth at Springfield's Speedway. Starting in the Stock Cars and moving

and moving up fast, he soon became a first class chauffer. It was a real honor to see Allen

driving with the Best of U.S.A.C. and be able to herald him as a local driver.
